 Carlisle. New Mexico tf \ representative of the CLARION spent day in this hourishing camp recently, and while time did not permit of . thorough inspec- ton of the famous Carlisle mines, all that was on tho surface was examined
 Carlsile is in Steeple Rock min ing district, Grant County, New Mexico, about eighteen miles dis tant from Duncan, Arizona, the nearest railroad station.
 The town, which contains about 250 inhabitants, is pleasantly sit uated in a canyon 200 yards wide and is built in q substantial man. ner. The superintendent's resi- dence, built on an elevated blow out of rock, is one of the most i'm posing buildings in this section.
 There may be said to be two camps, the main one where IS loca- ted the hoistiug works, mill, super intendent's office and assay office, company's store. miners dwellings and boarding houses, and Carlisle on the hill. distant less than 8 half mile, where are located the saloons, stores and dwellings of those not connected with the company.
 At this point there are nor four saloons, Messrs. Bailey's, Grains, Epley's and Palmer's, one gen eral merchandise store, barber shop and restaurant, the latter conducted by G. W. Parks, for inerly of Duncan
 In the main town the store is the center of attraction although no beer or liquor is sold In it is located the post office, also the Duncan and Carlisle telephone office. 4. N. Robertson, formerly oi Tombstone, is the gentlemanly manager of this part of the bus mess, and judging from the neat and attractive appearance of the interior of tho store it is not hard to conjecture that he IS thorough business man. Additions are now being made to the store to accom- odate the ever increasing trade.
 The principla boarding house of the camp Is kept by J. L. T. Wat ters, who does an excellent busi- ness. 3Ir. Walters is also pro- prietor of the stage line between Carlisle and Duncan.
 This excellent mining property has lately changed hands. having been purchased by foreign cor poration, and is now known as the l Carlisle Gold Mining Company, limited, with headquarters in Lon don, England. The price paid is said to bo $5O0.000 and if report | and present prospects can be re- lied on the property was cheap at l that figure. Mir. J. Longmaid is i the superintendent for the new company, succeeding Mir. D. B. ! Huntly who, be it said to his cred | it. was the first to make the prop l erty a paying investment. Mr. , Longmaid, Tn his management, is ! following closely in the footsteps of his predecessor, and no doubt | like him will make success. He is ably assisted by his son who has the management of the mill, which now consists of 40 stamps, but the ground is now being prepared for 20 more. The main shalt os the mine is down some 400' feet but preparations are being made to sink 200 feet further. Drifts are run every 100 feet anl Ii reports are to be believed each and every one ef them is iu orc, low grade, It Is true, but which is will pay we'll to work.
 There are many other excellent prospects ;n this section, and 1t is only Il question of time before they are fully developed. MT. R. T. Bailey has a mino called the Silver Bear, which assays 1i2 oun- rot m silver. and carries Gn pe1.
